I am of the opinion that HTTP/2's success will be determined by what it eliminates from the HTTP-mess, rather than what it adds to it. This topic/discussion is a very good example why I think so. We can focus om making HTTP/2 simpler to implement correctly, by choosing a simple and unambiguous rule, probably "URI's are UTF-8" or we can add another tortured heuristic resolution flow-chart, which attempts to guess what people though they understood when they read the unclear description of all the point-less options in the standard. What happened to the KISS principle ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
